modellers

Scale replica creators

Modellers are people who make models.

The word covers those who build physical representations—architectural modellers working with miniatures, modellers crafting clay prototypes for manufacturing—and those who create abstract representations: financial modellers projecting market behavior, climate modellers simulating atmospheric systems.

In fashion, modellers can mean those who pose wearing clothes.
